Other claims from this paper (19)
- Observation Xiaoshu is day-neutral and blooms about 50–60 days after sowing.
- Observation Xiaoshu is self-compatible, naturally pollinated and produces seeds throughout growth.
- Observation Xiaoshu has a swollen root with irregular secondary cambiums and starch-filled parenchyma cells.
- Observation Under suitable conditions, swollen xiaoshu roots germinate and grow seedlings without external nutrients.
- Observation The estimated xiaoshu genome size was 478.62 Mbp.
- Observation Xiaoshu genome heterozygosity was 0.17% and repetitive sequences were 59.53%.
- Method / resource A gap-free, 15-chromosome xiaoshu reference genome totaled 454 814 757 bp.
- Method / resource The genome assembly identified 1586 of 1614 plant-specific orthologues.
- Method / resource The xiaoshu genome annotation predicted 40 238 protein-coding genes, of which 37 834 were functionally annotated.
- Observation Phylogenetic analysis placed xiaoshu closest to I. triloba.
- Observation Xiaoshu and sweetpotato branches diverged about 7.12 Mya.
- Observation Xiaoshu had 398 expanded and 436 contracted gene families relative to eight species or varieties.
- Observation Xiaoshu shared 17 987 gene families with sweetpotato, or 86.8% of sweetpotato families.
- Observation The xiaoshu genome contained 2372 insertions and 5938 deletions relative to sweetpotato.
- Method / resource The assembly identified 30 telomeres and 14 centromeres.
- Observation Centromere gene density was much lower than whole-genome gene density.
- Method / resource Xiaoshu transformation reached a 95.65% success rate.
- Method / resource CRISPR-Cas9 targeting PDS yielded two albino shoots among five transgene-positive shoots.
- Association Higher IbMYB1 expression in transgenic xiaoshu roots was associated with higher anthocyanin content.
